Networking Site Hits Benchmark

In a time when most people spend the majority of their day on the computer, LifeAt technology enables people to connect with their home, their neighborhood, and the surrounding businesses and services they use on a daily basis. Instead of communicating with virtual strangers across great distances, LifeAt uses technology to reconnect people to their own life.

LifeAt creates customized, password-protected websites for residential properties to provide a safe and dynamic exchange for people within their apartment buildings or suburban communities. LifeAt is more than just a social networking website. Users can create personal profiles, find residents with similar interests, post pictures, and discuss a wide variety of topics on LifeAt forums. Residents can rate and review neighborhood businesses and services that cater to their community.

For real estate developers, property managers, building owners, home owners associations and condo boards, LifeAt can be used to reach out to residents, eliminating the need to develop their own custom intranets or websites. LifeAt also brings the virtual community into the real world, with sponsored events including LifeAt launch parties to encourage neighbors to meet, and Marketplace exchanges, where residents can meet to buy, sell and barter goods without the hassle of a shipping fee or going to the post office.

The most popular features of the website enhance the feeling of community while placing the solutions to all of the residents' day-to-day needs within their immediate reach. In the Resident Profile section, resident users have the ability to create profiles, add friends, send messages, post comments and share photo albums with neighbors. The Door-to-Door and Neighborhood Guide sections of the site serve as a detailed directory of local businesses that becomes more useful with resident-generated content. The Marketplace is a virtual classifieds section where residents buy and sell goods, advertise services and post wanted ads. In the News and Updates section, developers, owners and management post building notices, maintenance information and building events, creating an easy flow of communication with their residents.
